pinchof saltoptional, I didn't add this because my almond butter was salted
Optional Chocolate Dip
1teaspoonunsweetened cocoa powder**see note
1/2tablespooncoconut oil
Instructions
Combine coconut and almond butter in a small bowl. Microwave until melted.
Stir with a spoon until smooth.
Add almond extract and salt if using and stir again.
Freeze for about 10 minutes or until mostly hardened.
Remove from freezer and roll into balls (this is slightly messy)
Return to freezer for about 5 minutes.
If dipping in chocolate, melt coconut oil in a small bowl and then stir in cocoa powder until fully incorporated. Dip each ball in chocolate mixture and set down until chocolate sets. Re-dip for a thicker coating if desired and let set again.
Keep refrigerated.
Notes
**Alternatively, use chocolate chips instead of cocoa powder for a more decadent chocolate dip. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in microwave, stir until combined and dip the truffles in the mixture to coat.
